Frightened Rabbit frontman Scott Hutchison remembered by brother on anniversary of his death

Tragic Frightened Rabbit frontman Scott Hutchison has been remembered by his brother and bandmate on the anniversary of his death.

Yesterday marked a year since Scott died aged just 36 following struggles with anxiety and depression.

His younger brother Grant, who played drums in the Scottish rockers, took to social media to remember the indie rocker with an image of him on stage.

He said: "This was our space. Between my seat and your microphone belonged to us.

"It was more than just air. There was something else there. An elasticity pulling us together.  Energy thrown with the flick of a drumstick and rattled back with every jolt of your guitar. 

"As memories fade and become fuzzier the one thing I remind myself of every single day is your laugh.

"It didn't just fill rooms, it didn't just fill theatres, it filled hearts and it will forever. Miss you H."

The band additionally released a statement, praising Scott. It read: "Scott wrote the best f*****g songs you'll ever hear and being a part of that changed all our lives forever. Hug your loved ones."

The family of Scott this week revealed that they have set up charity mental health 'Tiny Changes' - named after a lyric from track 'Heads Roll Off', where Scott sings "while I'm alive I'll make tiny changes to earth".
